The Penang state government has announced that it will be continuing the free bus ride programme next year with an
even bigger allocation. The Unlimited Travel Pass, better known as Mutiara Pass, allows users to use Rapid Penang bus services throughout the state at any time which is almost similar in nature to Rapid KL’sState Infrastructure and Transport Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said that the state will distribute an additional 30,000 passes in 2023 which will increase the total number of Mutiara Pass to 150,000.
The cross-strait route is expected to take around an hour and 15 minutes, with the chairman stating that a typical e-hailing ride across the 27 km journey would typically cost RM52 to RM72. Finally, the high-speed ferry ride between Butterworth and the island will continue to be free for Malaysians until 30 June 2023.
